Types of Correctional Facilities

Prisons — Long-term facilities operated by state departments of corrections or the federal Bureau of Prisons for inmates serving sentences typically longer than one year.
Jails — Locally operated facilities that hold inmates awaiting trial or sentencing, or those serving short sentences (usually under one year).
Detention Centers — Facilities that hold individuals awaiting immigration hearings, federal pretrial detainees, or those in protective custody.
Community Corrections — Halfway houses and residential reentry centers that help inmates transition back into the community.
